DX Dell DX Object Storage Platform
Efficiently Store, Access and Distribute Digital Content

Summary:

Its intelligent, peer-scaling architecture enables you to store, manage and distribute digital content effectively and efficiently without locking yourself into a costly, inflexible strategy that won’t fit your long-term needs. Because the solution is object-based and metadata aware disk storage, you are able to identify and retrieve information quickly and automatically manage data from creation through deletion.
